Sunil Gavaskar column: India’s series loss to Ireland one of the lowest points in its cricket history
Sunday, June 28, will go down as one of the worst days in Indian cricket. Losing a game of cricket is one thing, but to lose a series, albeit a two-match series, also depends on whom you lose to. There are many low points in Indian cricket, and I have been a part of some, but to lose to Ireland has to be one of the lowest in the history of Indian cricket. If Ireland had played exceptional cricket, then it would have lessened the blow. It was simply overconfidence and a sense of casualness that let India down, and…
Wimbledon 2026: Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner among players to resume full media duties after prize money protest
Australian sixth seed Alex de Minaur was involved in the protests at last month’s French Open but decided he did not want to take part at Wimbledon.”I think the sense that we had at Roland Garros was everyone was on board, even though we didn’t, as a collective, achieve the numbers that we were looking for,” he said.”I thought that Wimbledon made a big step in the right direction, and something that should be noted. So this is for me to acknowledge their big step.”Germany’s Alexander Zverev, who claimed his first major win in Paris earlier this month, also decided…
Slough Town CEO Ashley Smith issues an open letter to supporters after backlash to the new club crest on social media. Earlier in June, the National League South side felt it was time to move on from their much loved logo, going for something more modern, which will always prove controversial. It’s said that the Supporters Trust were not aware of any planned change, and that none of the Trust were included in the 125 year association committee who participated in the discussions. The Trust said they had no input in the design, or with the explanation as to what…

Morning all, welcome to a brand new week, one that will be filled with World Cup knock-out games. With all due respect to South Africa, I was glad Canada scored their late winner last night. To be fair, I’d have been just as happy if the goal had gone in the other end too, as it saved us from extra-time in what was a pretty dismal game of football. Canada won’t give a moose’s ringpiece though, as they’ve qualified for the Round of 16, the first side to do so. The few minutes before the goal – after injury time…
World Cup 2026: Pampered, protected & primed – so why didn’t Scotland players perform?

And he was also the first player to do the daily media conference in camp, having to bat away a question about Norway head coach Stale Solbakken branding Clarke “unprofessional”.The squad took part in an open training session that morning, allowing kids from a local school a glimpse of them at work. Another sign of the new Clarke…
Leeds United supporters may have been left shocked and surprised when the news dropped on Saturday that Pascal Struijk is set to move on from Elland Road. Premier League rivals Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed a £20m deal with the Whites to sign the Dutch central defender this summer. His current contract in West Yorkshire is set to expire at the end of the 2026/27 campaign, which means that the club would risk losing him on a free transfer if they opted against cashing in on him. Struijk is said to want to explore a new challenge in his…
